  1. On Iraq war anniversary, Condoleezza Rice announces a book

    On March 19, 2003, American troops rolled into Iraq, in search of weapons of mass destruction. “We don't want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud,” warned Condoleezza Rice, President Bush’s national security advisor. In the long war that followed, more than 4,000 U.S. troops were killed, but not a single “nuke” was ever uncovered.

  4. Ron Kaye: Democracy wins a round

  6. The problem with direct democracy

    Last week, top Maryland Democrats announced their intention to make it more difficult to put statewide policy referenda on the ballot. The move is a clear response to Republicans' success last year in putting to referendum policy questions in the hope of achieving victories the GOP couldn't win in the legislature.

  8. 'Lincoln's Tragic Pragmatism' looks at the president's moral evolution

    The evolution of President Abraham Lincoln's thinking about emancipation is clearly marked out in his speeches and public documents. The evolution of his views about suffrage for black people is harder to trace. The two issues are intimately linked, and to modern eyes they seem one and the same. In Lincoln's time, though, the issues of emancipation and suffrage pulled in different directions, and their history is tangled.

  9. Al Gore, still energized

    Al Gore hails from Tennessee, but when he comes to California next week, he'll be coming back to his spiritual home. In 2000, Californians gave him a double-digit lead &mdash; 1.3 million votes &mdash; over George W. Bush for president. His documentary, &quot;An Inconvenient Truth," won an Oscar. California's GOP governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, signed the nation's most groundbreaking greenhouse-gases law. Californians buy the Prius; the rest of the country buys Ford trucks. Gore arrives amid the hoo-hah over the half-billion-dollar sale of Current TV to Al Jazeera, and <a href="http://www.vromansbookstore.com/al-gore">touting a hefty new book</a> magisterially titled "The Future." He must think that California, of all places, is ready for it.

  11. Congress and the lost art of compromise

    Twenty-six years ago, I walked into the U.S. Capitol as a newly elected congressman, representing a district that stretched from Simi Valley to Gorman to Catalina Island. This month, I cast my last vote in Congress, joining 84 other Republicans and 172 Democrats to pass the &quot;fiscal cliff" legislation.
